The Girl With Sparkles in Her Eyes has Willy on Her Mind

Today is Monday 5/4/15. Today's topic is going to be a little different from the usual. Don't you dare say I am going too left field no this one. I'll say what I want!

I have had lots of things on my mind lately as usual. But for about a week or so.... here goes....I'm not sure why, but I really wanted to know one absolutely random thing. "Who created he very first on screen cartoon." I think of weird things like this sometimes and I'm not sure why. But, at least I have an open mind right?

If you are interested, continue to scroll down to view the very first on screen cartoon! If not, you'll have to wait until my next entry. I'm sorry about that. For those who are interested, let's get to business and get on with the show already.

When I think of the history of animation. Walt Disney and Steamboat Willy cartoons are the first that come to mind. However, from what I read, the first animated projection (screening) was created in France back in 1892. You remember that right? This is the creator of said cartoon:

(Charles-Émile Reynaud December 8, 1844)

 

Now let's be honest. Does he not bare a striking resemblance to Alan Garner who plays the one man wolf pack in The Hangover I, II, and III?

 

Ok. That's a little off topic. But he does carry an uncanny resemblance right?! I find it to be worth mentioning. 

 

So here it is! This is the very first on screen cartoon! The name of the film was called Pauvre Pierrot. Enjoy!

 

 

 

(Pavre Pierrot)

 



So was this toon very complex? No. But it was still pretty impressive. I'd say if I were a product of that time and the only animation I had seen was the rotoscope, this would have really freaked me out!

 

Now this cartoon was full of shenanigans, beer, and lady chasing.

Now Alan Garner, do you have something to tell us?

 

 

Here is another Reynaud. Sweet!

 

 

(Is this one a little trippy or what?)

 

Now that is all I have to say today. If you expected more, you didn't realize it was Monday. In which case, I hate you. Kidding of course.
